Hello, Virtualbox supports SoundBlaster 16 BUT there is no sound on the game PakuPaku when played. I didn't really expect sound because even though Virtualbox merely mimics the SB16 hardware, no drivers are installed. The BLASTER environment variables are there in the FDAUTO.BAT file, but I notice no drivers load in FDCONFIG.SYS so I'm guessing that's because of licensing. There's a lot of 'junk' secondhand or worse SB16 driver installers out there you can find on various websites, but I'm super picky about where I get my files from. If I grab SoundBlaster 16 DOS drivers from here (I like getting stuff from the official source as much as possible)... https://web.archive.org/web/19980213040248/http://www1.creaf.com:80/wwwnew/tech/ftp/ftpinx.html ...and here... https://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=1&subCatID=207&prodID=1842&prodName=Sound%20Blaster%2016&subCatName=Others&CatName= ...and install them, can they be expected to produce sound?
